About

Hercule Du Seuil is an 8yo br trained by W P Mullins. He is by the stallion Saddler Maker out of the mare Cibelle Du Seuil and has so far recorded nine wins in his career.

The horse has proven to be a rewarding choice for bettors, and anyone who backed him throughout his career would have earned a 33% return on investment.
